Apple Reports Best Quarter Ever in Q1 2012: $13.06 Billion Profit on $46.33 Billion in Revenue - Mac Rumors

From the earnings report that came out today. Based on the logarithmic distribution of sales in the marketplace, the top grossing apps must be doing VERY well these days.

I bet they are.

I'm happy with my slice of the pie.

My slice was WAY too small

I am pretty sure I am the top grossing developer on my street, maybe my whole neighborhood.

Thanks for sharing!

Well, you are @ FAAD now so you will probably have some bigger chunk of that pie

But my pie theory for 2012 is "One for all, 2 for me"

How much does FAAD cost?

$0-$10K it is really wide open- different features, different approaches to popular and unknown apps etc. LOTS of threads about FAAD on here so no need to hijack this one :-)

Yes although the distortion is much more pronounced in paid downloads, top grossing is less logarithmical (or exponential) because it combines all price ranges and all free apps + inapp. Still, pretty amazing numbers!

Go Go APPLE !!

More iPhones Sold Than People Born Every Day

And again, Apple become the biggest company on the stock market. Overtaking XOM once more.

Congratulations on whoever invested in APPL when they were something like $70 per share. Damn, I didn't.

Bought it at $14 . . . . Sold at $21 and thought I made a killing.

Wasn't smart enough to buy it again until it was $249.

Same here: because I'm the only guy on my street!

My slice is small. Not bad, but not big enough to buy a house

In the same boat dude. saving up to buy a house by the time I hit 23-24

with this kind of revenue I think it just might be possible. Apple has been showing just how enticing their products can be. And their developers reap much of the rewards

0.0057% is my slice

You made 40K last quarter? That's 160K/year, which is pretty darn good.
